Application tiled January 21, 1907. Serial No. 353,297.

To all whom 4it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE F. WALKER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Arroyo, in the county Of Elk and State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented certain new and uselul Improvements in Compound Tools, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention is a compound tool oi the hatchet type, and includes ahatchet, a hammer, a nail puller, and Wrenches, all constructed andcombined in a novel and improved manner.

Y The tool is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which VFigure 1 is a plan View thereof; Fig. 2 is an end view. Fig. 3 is asection on the. line 3 3 of'Fig. 1.

Referring specifically to the drawings, 6 indicates the handle Of thetool. The head has onne side a hatchet blade 7 and on the other side ahammer head orpoll 8,

' i also a pair of claws 9 located opposite to the rear or distant edgeof the hatchet.

The edge of the hatchebblade iis serrated as at 10, and the face oredgeoi the claws Opposite thereto is serrated as at 11, forming atapering space therebetween which will receive a nut or pipe to beengaged by the serrations and turned by manipulation of the handle. Thehatchet blade is further provided with a diamond shaped Opening' 12 theedgesl of which' are serrated, which can be used as a Wrench on nuts andbolts. The blade also has in its inner edge a spike-pulling notch 13.

The poll` 8 of the hammer has a threaded stem 14 which screws'into anappropriate threaded socket in a neck 15 projecting from the body Oi thetol, and On one side the poll has an outwardly projecting or over-v saidface or the projection opposite ot two witnesses.

hanging part 16 located opposite' to one of the shoulders 17von eitherside of the neck 15. The space between the parts 16 and 17 is adapted toreceive a nut, and the construction forms a wrench whereby said nut canbe turned. The size of the' space Or wrenchy can be varied by screwingthe poll in or out. Also, the wrench can be formed on either side oi theneck 15, since the poll 8 can be turned so that the overhahging part 16projects either inwardly or outwardly, that is, either toward the withthe sides of the hatchet blade, whereby the hatchet can be used forsplitting wood or the like without danger oi the 'ends Oi the clawscatching on they wood and interfering with the drive of the hatchet.

I claimz' A. compound tool of the ham'mer type, having a. neckprojecting from the body thereofand shoulders on each side of the neck,and a poll having a screw connection tothe neck, and a laterallyprojecting portion having a face parallel to the shoulderalthepoll beingrotatable to bring the either shoulder, to form a wrench therewith.

In testimony. whereof I ax my signature, in presence GEORGE F. WALKER.Witnesses:
